No matter how different and unique we are, loss is the one thing we all have in common.

Yet, we often hide how we’re feeling, or we don’t have the right tools to support ourselves when it feels like life is crumbling all around us.

New York Times bestselling author, wellness activist, and Stage IV “cancer thriver”, Kris Carr believes that these “ruptures” and big messy emotions when your world falls apart can be a catalyst to take inventory of your life, figure out what matters most, and reset. . .

As the author of the new book, I’m Not a Mourning Person, Kris shares her personal journey and insights on how to face the pain and rediscover what she calls “fully alive living.”

In this episode, you’ll learn:

How creative projects can support healing
What is a rupture and how it can reveal a roadmap to your next chapter
Ways to be more open about grief and also what not to say to someone who is hurting
The best medicine to support a loved one (It heals!)
Why you need to prioritize joy even in the midst of loss and grief
The five pillars of wellness and how to integrate them into your life even when it falls apart

If your life has been turned upside down from a divorce, an accident, a miscarriage, a cancer diagnosis, losing the love of your life, a break up, or the death of a loved one, this conversation is for you.
